Mushrooms or string? Surprised they haven't dried out after all this time!
Still more exciting than a pre-filter IMO...

String. The package was still sealed so maybe I'll pop the remaining strings in a ziplock to keep them gooey.
I don't think the one that came in my Ducati has been opened yet either but now that you mention it I better check their condition. I took it out of my Duc when I sold it and it's now in my KTM but kit looks very Duc as it has a pretty lady on the cover.

Will let you know ahead of time if I'll be able to make it (its an in-office day for me)
Grateful for the opportunity regardless!

@RC-31 taught me the trick of using rubber cement. None of the strings I've used have never been sealed, just sandwiched between 2 sheets of plastic and usually years old by the time I need the next one. The rubber cement makes installation easy while simultaneously ensuring a good seal.
My strings are the same. Rubber cement on the other hand, I use infrequently so each time I try, the jar is dried up and useless.
This is key. I buy a couple of tubes every other year. One for the strings on the M/C and one for the patches on the bicycle. The smaller the tube the faster they dry up, even unopened. For the bicycle I bought a few "glueless" patches, but haven't tried them yet.
I think I may have a BMW branded patch kit from ~80's. It has (or had I can't remember if I chucked it) an empty sealed tube of cement.
